Expired Accounts and expired Libby access

Washoe County Library accounts automatically expire three years from the date of issue. If you received an email notification or saw an expired account message when logging into your account, please visit any Washoe County Library location for assistance. You will need your current Washoe County Library card or photo ID to renew your card. If you registered online and do not yet have a physical library card, photo ID is required. 

If you are unable to access digital checkouts in Libby, there may be one of several different issues. If you use your regular library card to log into Libby, your account may have expired in our system. If that is the case, please follow the instructions above. If you are using a digital card or you registered for Libby using your telephone number, please visit any library branch with your photo ID to register for a standard library account.
